My back hurts, the right side of my back. anytime i laugh or cough. is it serious? i know i've been doing a lot of chores lately, hard chores. maybe i've torn a muscle? idk what do i do?

It is a common pain due to strained muscle around the shoulder blades. If the symptoms bother you too much, you can take tylenol or advil as needed every 6-8 hours for a day or two. The symptoms should ease in a couple days if you can rest those muscles.
